This turned out delicious. I made three changes, first, I substituted turkey bacon and added some oil to compensate, and second, I thickened with a cornstarch slurry instead of adding sour cream, and third, used less meat and more potatoes/vegetables. Will make again.

I ran across this looking for something simple and low-maintenance to make, as i have a small kitchen and a broken knee... and was laid off in July, so affordable is great. always loved Hungarian Goulash in the deli, never tried to make it.

This is an excellent, fun dish to make that seems very flexible. For example, I had the Hungarian Paprika on hand (get some!, but no potatoes or caraway seed. So I left them out. Was still fantastic.

I used a sirloin tip roast. it was on sale, and I would just cut the grisly parts off of any cut of meat for this, anyway. Spent an extra 50-cents on good egg noodles for the pantry:

I let this simmer with no lid a while longer to thicken to the consistency I like.

thanks tyler. 50 times over.

I live in China and finding ingredients for western food is a challenge to say the least. This recipe is very tasty and doesn't fall apart if you can't get your hands on all the ingredients.

I couldn't find caraway in Beijing, so skipped that. The products here are all in metric and most imported goods are from europe. So it takes endless conversions to get the measurements more or less right. It takes creative translating to determine what is really contained in a can of Italian tomato product. I didn't get that right. I tried to translate the French on the can, but failed. So, I ended up using tomato paste (? instead what was called for. Did find paprika, which took some effort since it is not used in Chinese cooking. Also managed to find more or less the right beef too, which is lucky because I have no idea how to say 'shank' in chinese.

Anyway it turned out quite good, even with all of the alterations. A winner. It wasn't quite like I have eaten in Austria, but it was a nice comfort food on a cold Beijing night. Cheers!

I grew up in the Czech republic eating this meal very often but never cooked goulash in my entire life. I found Tyler's recipe a few days ago and wow! It took me right back into my childhood. A dish so authentic and perfect for the snowy days we've had this last week. All my friends (one of them is German who had a taste of it raved about my gastronomic quallities and wanted more and more. There was even an offer to cook this for one of them and get paid. I was always told that goulash is even better the next day and I agree with that 100% on this one. Thank you Tyler for the wonderful job you do and helping me to look fabulous among my peeps!

I've been making this for several years now and it is the most authentic Goulash recipe I've found. I had the exact same thing at a little cafe near Neuschwanstein which is a castle near the Austrian border in Germany. Everyone I've made this for loves it and it brings back the wonderful memories we had of being stationed in Germany. One suggestion; don't mess with the meat! Last time I made this I let the butcher talk me into using sirloin rather than the shank and it does make a difference. Shank is crucial in this dish.

I am not much of tomato based stew/soup lover, but this was absolutely delicious! I think it would be great without any meat, but the beef shank turned out tender. I served this over buttered egg noodles. No leftovers!

I tried out this recipe and its amazing! I tried it the origional way, and then I tried a 2nd time a different way. U can easily substitute ground beef for the shank, and add a little cayenne pepper for a nice kick. Delicious on a snowy day in Denver :-

This was delicious, rich, hearty, and warm. I made this for guests and served it over egg noodles- every single one of us had at least 2 servings. Yum!
